Hearts transfer move for a 10th new signing

Hearts are looking to sign a new goalkeeper before the transfer window closes and have made enquiries about several potential targets. The Edinburgh club are planning another signing to compete for the No.1 position with Zander Clark, as both Craig Gordon and Ryan Fulton are now injured. Gordon was first choice in goal last season but the 42-year-old is sidelined with a nerve complaint in his shoulder which arose in May. Clark, 33, was promoted as Gordon's deputy for the new campaign with Fulton as back-up. However, Fulton is now out with a torn groin muscle suffered last Friday. Medical scans suggest he will be absent for between three and four months. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Harry Stone, 23, was Hearts' substitute goalkeeper against St Mirren on Saturday. He has yet to make a senior appearance for the Tynecastle side. Management are keen to recruit stronger competition for the No.1 role before the transfer window closes on 1 September. Enquiries have been made to a number of clubs, including Everton about their reserve keeper Harry Tyrer. Officials at the English Premier League side are open to letting the 23-year-old leave either on loan or permanently, although he is just one of many names on Hearts' shortlist. Various English Football League clubs are also keen on Tyrer. Blackpool, Plymouth Argyle, Burton Albion and Stevenage have all been credited with interest, while Hearts are looking at him as potentially their 10th summer signing. The nine recruits brought to Tynecastle since the end of last season are Norwegian right-back Christian Borchgrevink, Greek winger Alexandros Kyziridis, Portuguese forward Claudio Braga, Irish midfielder Oisin McEntee, Belgian striker Elton Kabangu, Scottish centre-back Stuart Findlay, Albanian winger Sabah Kerjota, Icelandic midfielder Tomas Magnusson and Burkinabe forward Pierre Landry Kabore. Transfers in and out ahead of deadline day Hearts are keen to trim the size of their squad if they can before the end of the month. Adding another goalkeeper would increase numbers but, with Gordon and Fulton missing for long periods, the process of finding another keeper is underway. The club will not rush into a decision on any new recruit and are currently looking at a host of different options. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad It remains to be seen if anyone arrives before Saturday's William Hill Premiership match with Motherwell in Gorgie. Hearts are looking to recover from last weekend's Premier Sports Cup defeat on penalties at St Mirren. That game finished 1-1 after extra-time following goals by Saints' Alex Gogic and Hearts midfielder Oisin McEntee. The Paisley side won 5-4 on penalties to reach the quarter-finals. Motherwell's visit brings a return to league business, followed by a trip to Livingston next weekend. The Premiership then breaks for a fortnight as World Cup 2026 qualifiers begin. Scotland start their campaign to reach the finals in USA, Canada and Mexico with an away double header against Denmark and Belarus.

Who will win Celtic vs Kairat Almaty? Our writers deliver predictions for Champions League playoff first leg
Celtic have overcome Kazakhstan opposition on three previous occasions in Champions League qualifying To call it the dream draw would be ignoring the nightmares which have lurked for Celtic over the years during some treacherous nights in qualifying, However, there's no doubt a tie against Kazakhstan's Kairat Almaty is one in which the Premiership champions' are expected to navigate with the minimum of fuss. Brendan Rodgers is rightly railing against overconfidence but does believe he has the Celtic side capable of being too much for Almaty despite his wishes for extra players at his disposal. Celtic have overcome Kazakhstan opposition on three previous occasions in Champions League qualifying and are aiming to do so again. Record Sport' s top team makes their predictions with one score standing out. Michael Gannon Kairat will come and try to park the bus but an early goal will set the tone and Celtic should be able to head to Kazakhstan with a fairly comfortable lead. Keeping the visitors out at the other end will be key. Celtic 4 Kairat 0 Ryan McDonald Celtic fans won't accept any excuses if they somehow crash out of the Champions League. This is arguably the most favourable draw and the Hoops should have enough in the locker to take a comfortable aggregate lead over to Kazakhstan. Celtic 3 Kairat 0 Scott Burns I would expect Celtic to get the job done at home. I think Brendan Rodgers' side will be too strong and they won't want to take any chances ahead of the second leg in Kazakhstan. Celtic 3 Kairat 1 Mark Pirie The Hoops proved last season that they are more than capable of getting big results in Europe. Celtic look weaker than last season after a sluggish summer transfer window, but should still have enough to navigate this tie and take a comfortable first leg advantage to Kazakhstan. Celtic 2 Kairat 0 Andy Newport The Hoops have a hell if a long way to go for the second leg next week. So you can be sure they will want to make sure they have a decent lead packed in their suitcase before setting off. They've got to cross five time zones to reach Kazakhstan but I can't see them wasting much time putting the tie to bed. Celtic 3 Kairat 0 Scott McDermott Given the difficulties of a midweek trip to Kazakhstan for the second-leg, there will be a real determination from Brendan Rodgers' side to effectively kill off the tie in Glasgow. Celtic are adept at making fast starts at home in Europe and if they get it right here they can blow Kairat away early - and make their away trek a lot easier than it might otherwise be.
